How to interpret the differences
Formovie is the more modern all-in-one entertainment platform on paper: its certified Google TV environment and Dolby Vision support reduce the need for external boxes, while its 0.21:1 throw ratio can make furniture placement easier.
The Polaris proposition is different. If its current selling price is much lower and you already plan to use an Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, console or disc player, the older smart interface matters less. Your room, screen and deal price become the deciding variables.
